Die Crack on a 1998 Quarter

Hard for me to tell... is this a die crack? Took several pics but they're not great

Yes, looks like it.

It is, would be interesting to see how far this one progressed.

Looks like the start of a cud. Wonder if it got that far.

What do you mean? Sorry, I'm kind of a noob here

Nice pics.

Nice catch. A cud is part of the die that broke away and it leaves an unpunched area from where it hit the planchet. I hope that's right

Once a rim-to-rim crack develops, it's possible that part of the die will break away. Subsequent coins struck from the die will have a "cud" like the one below.
